"There are many web sites that offer information on the origins of thisfamily. Unfortunately, most contradict each other or other sources. Thefollowing pulls together A VIEW of what the ancestry may have been. Theseearly generations should be treated with caution. Note that the datesgiven by some sources indicate that, with some of the early members ofthe family apparently living to a great age but others dying young, therewere several generations alive at the same time around the 12th/13thcenturies. This could be part of the cause of the confusion thatsurrounds these early generations.
Leofwine of Northumbria (b before 1000)
1. Thorlongus of the Merse = Thor 'the tall' of Tranent, Ednam, etc
Along with others of Danish extraction, Thor was driven out of NorthernEngland by the Normans and was accepted into Scotland by King MalcolmCanmore who was seeking to strengthen his own defences against theNormans.
A. Swane of Swinton = Swane Thorson of Crawford
Thought by some to be the namegiver to Swinton (Swane's town).
i. Eve &
m. Alan FitzWalter, 2nd Hereditary Steward of Scotland (d 1204) &
This connection has been seen in a web site but no evidence to supportit has yet been found.
ii. daughter &
m. Reginald de Crawford (d 1146) @ below &
B. William of Swinton
Thought by some to be the progenitor of families of Swinton, Gordon,etc but this seems to contradict information obtained elsewhere on theSwinton family (see 'Swinton01').



Gregan de Crawford (b c1080, a 1128)
Gregan (or Alan) may have been one of those who accompanied King David onhis return to Scotland around 1127. He is reported to have saved the lifeof Reginald, son of the Earl of Richmond in 1127 (presumably this wasReginald la Zusche) whilst he or another 'Alan of Crawford' is saidaround this time to have married Bertha, daughter of Conan, Duke ofBrittany, possibly the Conon (1138-1171) who married Margaret, sister ofDavid, Earl of Huntingdon, and who was half-brother of Reginald laZusche.
1. Reginald de Crawfurd (d 1146)
Some sources show this Galfridus to be son rather than son-in-law ofSwane Thorson of Crawford.
m. daughter of Swane Thorson of Crawford @ above
A. Galfridus de Crawford of Crawford (b 1118, d 1189/c1202)
m. (??) dau of David, Earl of Huntingdon
This marriage is reported by several web sites. Some indicate thatGalfridus's wife was a legitimate daughter of Earl David but this is notsupported by information known about Earl David whose legitimatedescendants became claimants for the throne of Scotland and so have beenstudied carefully.
The connections between the branches of Crawfordjohn, Loudoun,Auchenames, Kilbirnie, and Kerse & Drumsey are reported differently bydifferent sources. The following seems to be a reasonable 'compromise'between them but should not be viewed as completely reliable.
i. Reginald de Crawford of Crawford (b 1145, d 1230)
ii. John de Crawfordjohn
John is referred to as stepson of Baldwin de Biggar but this connectionhas not yet been identified.
a. Sir Reginald de Crawford, Sheriff of Ayr (b c1165, d 1226)
m. Margaret Loudoun (dau of James de Loudoun of Loudoun) "

With Maud, he had three sons and four daughters: Henry, David, John, Margaret, Isabella, Maud, Ada. Of the sons, only John, earl of Huntingdon and Chester (d.1237) lived to adulthood, though he died childless.
